( humming in harmony ) what's the name of that? "sinners lose all their guilty stains." oh, yeah, yeah. ( both humming ) both: ...lose all their guilty stains lose all their guilty stains lose all... ange? their guilty -- what? here's one for you. an assault case. assault? yeah. who was involved? you'd never guess in a million years. no, i... who? guess. oh, i can't guess. guess. uh -- floyd lawson and charlie foley. floyd and old man foley? ( laughing ): yeah. you're kiddin'. no. well, who assaulted who? it don't say. on august 9, 1946. well, i'll be dogged. 11:25 a.m. i can't imagine either one assaultin' anybody. two of the gentlest fellas i've ever known. well, this was... that's 19 years ago. they could've been a couple of hotheads in them days. ( laughing ): yeah. how did the case come out? well, let's see... well, it don't say. it don't say? no, look at it. it's just blank. case never came to trial. nothin' resolved, no verdict, no nothin'. just says the both of 'em was arrested and that was the end of it. i'll be dogged. huh. well... couldn't have been too important. wait a minute. you'll pass it off and forget about it? well, sure, what do you want me to do? well, i don't know but we ought to do something. why? an assault was committed. an arrest was made and nothing ever happened. the case was never properly disposed of. well, so what? whether it was 19 years ago or 29 years ago it still behooves us to settle it properly if we can. well, yeah, but this happened before we ever took office. this happened during sheriff poindexter's time. that doesn't make any difference. the people involved are still around. and i think we at least ought to try and see what happened. well, how you figure on doin' that? i'll see the principals in the case. oh, no... i'll go to foley and i'll go to floyd. no, but... i'll talk to 'em. i ought to do it right now. you coming with me? uh... well... you going to the barbershop first? yeah. well... i'll go with you. i knew once you thought about it you'd see it my way. it's not because of that. i need a haircut. ( chuckling ) oh, good mornin', barney. mornin', andy. you see the paper this morning? there's a little article. "robert gribble and emma lars announce their coming nuptials." that's interesting. ever see what's written in the cement outside the shop? no. go out and take a look. you, too, barney. see what's written in that cement. we're not here to look at cement. what's out there? it says, "bobby gribble hates emma lars." ( laughs ) some kid wrote that 11 years ago when that sidewalk was first laid. no kiddin'. yeah, 11 years ago bobby gribble hated emma lars. ( laughs ) now they're announcing their coming nuptials. uh... ain't life funny? floyd! can't you just see 'em way back in school? him dunking her pigtails in the inkwell and hiding her pencils and making fun and... oh, boy, she'll get even with him now. you can bet on that. floyd, there's something we have to discuss here. what's that, barney? august 9, 1946. ah... bobby gribble and emma lars... yeah... can, can i see that? oh, yes, yes... now, i'm talking about assault. assault? yes, assault. were you or were you not involved in an assault case with mr. foley on august 9, 1946? i... yeah, seems to me i do remember something about that. ( rattling newspaper ) ange... please. all right, let's have it. get it off your chest. how'd this come up, andy? we was goin' through some papers at the courthouse and this thing between you and mr. foley came out. what did it say? it didn't say anything. that's the whole point. the case was never properly settled. and we want to get it cleared up. oh, i see. all right, let's have it. now, how about this case between you and mr. foley? i didn't even know bobby and emma were going together. oh, yes, he's been going... ever since he broke off with andrew beasley's girl. what happened in this case between you and mr. foley? well, actually, barney, uh, eh... i don't remember. you don't remember?! you were arrested, weren't you? arrested? it's on the books. well, i don't re... i don't remember being arrested. you mean, me, arrested? like a common criminal? don't push him, barney. floyd, i didn't come in for this i come in to get a haircut. oh, all right... now, just a second. i'm going to tell you something. if you won't talk, maybe foley will. but you just remember this. i gave you your chance. say, on your way out take a look at that sidewalk. see if it don't say "bobby gribble hates emma lars." ( laughing ) ...and now they're announcing their nuptials. that was quite a day. but you do remember, though? i remember some, but not everything. you were getting a haircut and you fell asleep. i always fall asleep when i get a haircut. but that day, when i woke up i found that he'd shaved me. yeah, but you never asked for a shave, right? right, but floyd was just starting in business and he wanted to run up a little bill. yeah, i got you. anyway, when i protested one word led to another he punched me right in the nose. ( laughing ) what's funny about that? well, it wasn't really a punch. can you imagine floyd punching anybody? it was more of a little boop. anyway, i guess he had the right because i called him a crook. yeah, but he punched you, though. he punched you-- you're sure about that? oh, absolutely, and goober in the garage he was a little boy then, was there saw the whole thing. goober, huh. okay, mr. foley, the case is coming pretty clear now. just one more thing, if you'll cooperate i think we can wrap this up. aw, i wouldn't worry about barney, floyd. he gets a little excited about things sometimes, you know. you know, i think his trouble is he's not married. now, if he was married these little things wouldn't bother him. ( quietly ): oh, hey, here he comes. oh, barn, everything all right? got the case all solved? could be, could be. what you got there, barney? interrogation of... charles foley, by deputy fife subject charles foley, states that on day in question he was in floyd lawson's barbershop getting a haircut and fell asleep. ( laughs ) hey, yeah, that charlie would... always falls asleep in the chair. subject further states that when he woke up he had not only a haircut, but a shave a shave he had not requested. wait a minute-- that's not true. when subject protested, words were exchanged and subject was punched in the nose. well, who's "subject"? foley. he said i punched him in the nose? he did. aw, no, barney, that isn't the way it happened. now, he asked for that shave i remember that distinctly. oh, your memory's coming back now, huh? well, good. besides, if he says i punched him in the nose that's an outright fib. you got a statement to make, i'll take it. barney, what are you doin'? now stop this. no, no, no, please, no, no. no, i just want to say one thing. now, charlie foley is a nice person now, you know that yourself. leave me out of this. i mean, as many times as you've gone in his store has he ever offered you a piece of fruit? not so fast, i'm trying to get this down. and his memory-- it never was too good. i mean, if he says i punched him. floyd, you want to finish me, so i can go. we're certainly getting two completely different stories. well... well, mine's the right one. well, here we are, barney. ( exchanging greetings ) say, charlie, did you tell barney that cock-and-bull story he wrote down there? that was no cock-and-bull story. that was the truth. you mean, it was the exact opposite. it was not the exact opposite... yes, it was, charlie. boys, boys... ( all talking at once ) now, wait, wait a minute, boys, boys, wait a minute. andy, just a second. now, the reason i asked mr. foley and goober to come over here was so we could reenact this case just as it happened 19 years ago. what do you want to do that for? well, look at the difference in their stories. i figured if we could just go through the whole thing step by step, just as it happened get it off the books. now, is that agreed? well, i wish you'd just finish me up so i can get out. now, first thing we ought to do is establish where everybody was. you have a piece of chalk? yeah, right on the shelf. all right, we'll start with you, goober. now this is important. where were you when the argument began? you mean, way back that other time? yes, way back that other time. i don't know, i was just five years old. all right, you were waitin' for a haircut-- you must've been sittin' over there, right? i reckon. okay, go, sit, sit. all right, now. you had a direct view of the whole thing. i was probably readin' a comic book. i always read one waitin' for a haircut. all right, then, take a comic book. can i have another? i've read this. goober, it's just pretend. it don't make any difference if you read it. but i read it twice. there, now, all right. now, mr. foley, as i understand it you arrived at the barbershop came in there, and went direct to the barber chair. yes, i guess so. andy, would you mind gettin' up and lettin' mr. foley sit down? ( andy grumbling ) ( hushed ): barney, i want you to stop this and stop it right now. what do you mean? rakin' up somethin' happened years ago and nobody cares. i care, i should think you would, too. i don't understand your attitude. you're the sheriff. you'd think you'd be the one to care. wanna know the truth? i don't even care some. ( others arguing ) all i asked for was a haircut. ( thump ) ( moaning ) ow! ow! he hit me! ( muffled ): he hit me, barney! andy, did you see it?! no, i didn't see it. goober, you saw it. no, i was readin' this comic book. well, he did hit me! and i want him arrested. you see? you see? i want him arrested, andy, right now. mr. foley, why in the world did he hit you anyway? because he's a mean, vicious person. is it bleedin'? no. it probably broke and it'll bleed later. what did you say to get him mad enough to hit you? i didn't say anything. maybe if you'd talk to him. no, i won't talk to him again until i get him in a court of law! mr. foley... i've got him cold. i got three witnesses. y'all saw the whole thing. i didn't. i was talkin' to barney. barney and goober must've seen it. when they get on the witness stand they have to tell the truth! there they are. barney, tell the truth. you saw him hit me in cold blood. no, i was talkin' to andy. don't give me that! goober was there. he probably seen the whole thing. i was readin' a comic book. you're a liar. i am not. you saw him hit me on the nose. look at that nose. look like it's been hit. i never seen ya get hit. you're a liar. i am not. see what you started? you're not sayin' this is all my fault?

( both arguing ) wait a minute. now, let's not start the whole thing all over again. you've both known one another much too long to talk to each other like that. now, i mean it. you've been friends for 20 years. more than friends you've been neighbors. you must have seen one another through a lot of trouble in that time. now, you're not kids, either one of you. and you both know the value of old friends. and the first law of friendship is to be ready to forgive. i know you're both sore about what happened yesterday. but i don't believe anything that's happened couldn't be made right by a warm, forgiving handshake. do you? well, do you? you know, charlie, that's just about the same thing that's right, it was. well, what happened then? well... we shook hands, didn't we, charlie? that's right. we did. and then i invited him over for a free shave. that's what happened. well, if it worked then i don't see any reason why it couldn't work now.

( slams door ) you know, andy, barney's a wonderful feller yeah. oh. where you reckon he's run off to? oh, i don't... threatening message isis to to a school in chatham. now at six - how the school responded to the threat. " how those here at carilion wellness are using technology to change the way we think about health up." winding down a with a warm saturday and rainy sunday. good evening. this is wdbj-7 at six. i'm melissa gaona. with a possible threat from isis the community of chatham is supporting those law enforcement officers tonight who are standing guard at hargrave military academy. wdbj7's danielle staub joins us live from the school. melissa, we do not know what was said in this threat. however, law enforcement found it credible enough to shut down the campus for the weekend and search every car coming in and out. this afternoon, law enforcement said they are already looking at suspects. community members i spoke to are on edge, but are satisfied with the quick response. state and county law enforcement block the entrance to hargrave military academy and will continue to do so until further graduate "it's just scary and sad because i think we all think of chatham as this sleepy little town like mayberry and when i was at hargrave people didn't even lock their doors." a graduate of hargrave, holly vicks says she thought twice when sending her kids to school. vicks "you just hope that it's an empty threat. you can't live your life afraid to go out of your house. that doesn't seem like an easy solution either." hargrave school president don broome says a threatening message purported to be from isis was sent directly to the school tuesday. brigadier general don broome/hargrave military academy president - we haven't received any type of threat like this before. but i think all you have to do is look across the nation today and you see this type of threat has popped up before. more than half the cadets given the opportunity to go home for the weekend did, others are at sporting events at other locations. brigadier general don broome/hargrave military academy president we restricted some of their movement to make sure that we keep them in a safe and secure environment. they are right now within the confines of the school itself, and let's just leave it at that please. sheriff taylor says
